The technology “Hybrid Assist” which will be released already in 2017 the Renault Mégane and Scénic, should be extended to other models, including the Clio. The goal? Reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Speaking to AutoExpress, the vice president of Renault, Bruno Ancelin, said that hybrid technology will reach the most accessible said models.
“we want an affordable electrification process, which means to give our customers just enough to reduce CO2 emissions” , referring to “Hybrid Assist” technology.
The system takes advantage of the energy wasted in deceleration and braking to charge a battery of 48 volts. The energy is then used to assist the combustion engine.
The operation is similar to the energy recovery system used in Formula 1 and will be associated, at least initially, the engine 1.5 dCi 110hp.
The Renault Mégane advances the Hybrid Assist will have an approved NEDC consumption cycle in less than 3.1 liters to one hundred and CO2 emissions of 76g / km.
On the other hand , Ancelin ensures that the next Clio will not be a plug-in hybrid model. “There is no need to develop PHEV technology in compact cars, the costs are too high” explained.
Still, the models of the top segments may adopt alternative powertrains, “depending on future regulations for diesel”
